*story based on show/game/ (maybe) manga Pokemon. The story would be quite different, but it will borrow some elements from the show/games/manga.*


*Ring!!! Ring!!! Ring!!!* Ash wakes up with a jolt. He takes a moment to glance around and then lets out a sigh. His previously neat, conventional bed stood off to the left of his bedroom. His gaming console was directly in the center of the bedroom. It was totally apparent of the late night playing with its controllers and monitor still on. Behind his bed, four or so steps back was Ash's desk. On top of the desk was his PC, where he conveniently placed a healing potion. Just to the right of the desk were his dresser and a bookcase. A couple of more steps to the right and there is a flight of stairs. The futuristic cyan walls really added to the familiarness of the room. 

Today was the day that Ash would get his starting Pokemon. The young, enthusiastic boy named Ash didn't even bother to change the night before. He was ecstatic for the thought of receiving a Pokemon. He had dreamed of this day to come and finally it arrived. Thoughts circulated in his head about which Pokemon he was going to pick. 

Ash hurried to Professor Oak's Lab. Along with him, there were three other children starting their adventure today as well. Ash clambered out of his house and ran into the Professor's Lab. When Ash entered the building, he felt a sense of excitement. The room was divided into two parts. One side was separated by the other side by bookshelves excluding the walkway in the middle. On the back side of the bookshelves and to the right side was the table where three Pokeballs were kept. On the left side, there was a desk where one Pokeball was kept, as well as a tube emulator and some battery blocks. On the back wall, there were some desks, a computer, the Pokedexes (a dictionary for Pokemon), and two bookshelves from left to right.

Professor Oak was standing in front of the Pokeballs, however, the Professor himself wasn't very happy. "Hey, Professor!" said Ash with a cheery tone. "Oh, hello my boy." "So, Professor! What starter Pokemon am I getting today?" Ash inquired. "I'm so sorry  Ash! There are no more Pokemon starters!" Professor Oak informed Ash. Ash paled and looked at the ground. He was heartbroken. Ever since Ash was 5, he dreamt of getting a starter Pokemon. "Ash, are you okay?" asked Professor Oak. There was another starter, but Oak quickly dismissed it. Oak didn't hate Ash or anything, but rather Pikachu were pretty hard to have as a starter Pokemon. " Ash are you okay??? Is that all you have to Say???!" Ash hissed.  Turning back with disappointment, Ash ran out of the lab. Unknown to him, a man in the shadows was listening in the entire conservation.

Ash charged forward. He didn't know where he was going but right now all he wanted was to get away from the Professor.  Ash ran into the woods and jumped over a rock. Behind him, the rock started to move. It wasn't a rock, but rather a Geodude and it looked pissed. Ash sprinted away from Geodude and into the woods more.  He slowed down to look behind before continuing to run away. When Ash stopped running, he was truly lost. He looked around and tried to escape the clutches of the forest. Suddenly, a Geodude came out of the bushes. It was the same one that Ash jumped over it. Geodude prepared for a Rollout when a random voice project itself across the entire forest. 

"Hydro Pump" A Poliwrath jumped out in front of Ash and shot out a massive blast of water at Geodude. Geodude quickly retreated knowing it was defeated. Ash looked at Poliwrath with respect. "That is my Pokemon, Poliwrath." said a man in a black cloak and a hood covering his face. "Thank You for saving mister! I would have been done without you!" said a bewildered Ash.  "No need to call me mister, I have a name. Call me Mr. Joban." said the hooded figure.
